Hexagram 15: Modesty

Qian succeeds. The Way of Heaven lowers itself to bring aid and so becomes luminous. The Way of Earth is lowly and rises upward. The Way of Heaven diminishes the full and increases the humble. The Way of Earth transforms the full and flows toward the humble. Ghosts and spirits harm the full and bless the humble. The way of human beings hates the full and loves the humble. Humility is honored and luminous, lowly and yet not to be overstepped. This is the Noble One's completion.
